Jihadi Captured

Now if this isn't additional justification for being allowed to carry a weapon I don't know what is. I'm not 100% sure what his intentions were, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't out selling Girl Scout Cookies in camo and face paint. Add to that his recent trips to Lebanon and political leanings as evidenced from his personal website, and you start to get a really scary picture. It's well known that Bin Laden & Co. plan to attack schools in the US. Anyone remember Beslan?

DEARBORN -- A 26-year-old man is being held on $1 million cash bond on gun charges after he was found leaving a city park Sept. 8 with an AK-47.

Houssein Zorkot was arraigned Tuesday before 19th District Judge Mark Somers on two felony charges in the incident at Hemlock Park.

Dearborn police responded to a call that there was a man in the park carrying a gun. Police stopped Zorkot's sport utility vehicle as he was leaving the park. He was wearing dark clothes that could camouflage him at night.

After his arrest, police sought a warrant at the man's home, where they seized a laptop computer and several pictures. No other guns were found in the house.

The man also had visited Lebanon within the past month, police said.

Bond was set at the unusually high rate because it was unclear whether he was dangerous, Mayor John "Jack" O'Reilly said. The gun was purchased the night before in a nearby suburban community, O'Reilly said.

"The bond was set because of the nature of this," O'Reilly said. "We can't be sure he might not be a threat. We really don't have enough information to know what his intent was. The indication is he better not be released right now until we know what he is up to."

He was charged with one court of carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent, a five-year felony and a two-year felony firearm charge. He also was charged with possessing a loaded firearm in a vehicle, a two-year misdemeanor.

Dearborn police have called in the FBI to help with the case. FBI spokesperson Dawn Clenney confirmed they had been contacted about the case, but declined to discuss the issue any further.

"We are aware of the situation. It's their situation," Clenney said. "Beyond that it would be inappropriate to comment."

A preliminary hearing is set for Oct. 21.

O'Reilly said although the man had recently visited Lebanon, he was cautious to indicate there was a larger terrorism issue brewing so close to the Sept. 11 anniversary.

"I really wanted not to let it become more of a bigger issue to be played out," O'Reilly said. "The real story will come out when he is bound over."

You Might Be A Terrorist...

...if:

You believe that Gun Control laws are unconstitutional.

You object to the governments behaviour at Waco/Ruby Ridge.

You fly a "Gadsden" flag and/or believe in the words "Don't Tread On Me."

You are or have been a member of an unorganized militia.

You believe Gun Control is a conspiracy to enslave us starting with the removal of our ability to either defend ourselves or forcefully change our government.

You believe the first ten amendments of The Constitution are God given and all others are temporary, invalid or outright fraudulent.

You believe all judicial authority resides with the people. The jury, not the Judge, directs trials and can nullify laws they do not approve of.

You believe that U.S. sovereignty is being surrendered to the U.N., World Court, and World Bank, with the U.S. becoming an economic region of this New World Order.

You believe that Federal and State governments do not have the legal authority to levy taxes or interfere with travel or private enterprise by requiring licenses or regulating activity or conduct.

This, according to http://www.pa-aware.org/who-are-terrorists/domestic-5.asp

Yep, it looks like I'm a terrorist, if being a terrorist is someone who loves their country to the death. If it is someone who believes in the principles that this country was founded on and believes that the government we have now is far from the government we should have. If it is someone who believes in the the whole bill of rights as written and owns several guns and knows how to use them.

Actually...doesn't that pretty much describe a Patriot?

Well, might as well make it complete and embrace my "terroristness". Here's my Gadsden flag:
